"Jaz is always diligent in whatever roll she is in. She is professional and responsive whenever I've contacted her. Always a pleasure." (Alison Meeks)

"Although I have only known Jaz for a few months, I have always found her open, helpful. During this time, Jaz, in her current role Programs Department Coordinator, has always been very supportive, practical and professional. This is reflected in Jaz's approach and actions, both towards to the (Certification) team and as J! Board member. In this period Jaz has helped bring more stucture and focus to the JCP and others teams within the department. I highly recommend Jaz and hope to be able to continue working her to move the JCP, the department and Joomla forward." (Chris Keen)
